| V-Cap CuTF .22 on Gain Tubes-- Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated Erik, the Audyn True Copper are great caps. Things are opening up quickly. I really like what I'm hearing. The PL is smoother and clearer than before. It's closer to my 300B, which actually uses a touch of negative feedback and some describe ... | |
| V-Cap CuTF .22 on Gain Tubes-- Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated All I can say so far (two hours in) is the Audyn’s have more texture on McCartney III. Let’s see how things improve. | |
| V-Cap CuTF .22 on Gain Tubes-- Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated @erik_squires , The VCAPs wouldn't fit elsewhere--other than linked to the two gain preamp tubes. So, I was looking at that Audio True Copper and AudioNote as these caps are smaller and would arguably fit. I ordered 8 Audyn True Copper .22uF tha... | |

| Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6 After a long break from the 7581a tubes, I swapped them back in. I was using Gold Lion KT77 reissues--great tube. The 7581a adds a bit of the power that the KT150 has and it seemingly has more headroom. But, I say that without checking the specs... | |
| Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable? I have a 1200 GAE. It is likely my forever table, and it is certainly worthy of fitting that bill for me. Previously I had a Roksan and an Origin Live, which were belt driven lovely tables, but persnickety. The Technics is rock solid. I do wish... | |
| RIP Tony Rice He is a legend. So sad. He was too young. | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... The used market for Forte IIIs is healthy. I had mine for 27 months and sold them for $2600. [I upgraded to Cornwall IVs]. I'd be curious to see the Forte IV, as the III was a great design in its own right. | |
| V-Cap CuTF .22 on Gain Tubes-- Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated @erik_squires , Always good to see you here E! Yes, I was looking at those too. The VCAP CuTF won't fit anywhere else--I don't think. These were work themselves. I'm going to see if the Audio True Copper fit. | |
| V-Cap CuTF .22 on Gain Tubes-- Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated As the listening hours pass, these V-Caps sound better and better. Perhaps, I should spring and put these on the power supply side of things too. I know they will never fit on the tube side. I need to live with these for some time to assess wh... | |

| V-Cap CuTF .22 on Gain Tubes-- Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated @tablejockey , yes, I'll try sending them again to your email. @atmasphere , to get that opinion from you means a lot. You are very respected and I have learned so much from you on these forums! | |
| What amplifiers/integrateds do you like with Cornwall IVs? @kren0006, the PL wins hands down. BUT (and it's a big but) the Class A Mambo sounded just lovely with them. Very clear, nice drive, plenty of detail and very musical. The PL just had more timbre to instruments, bigger sound, and larger soundst... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? If anyone is interested, PM me for a photograph of the HP Integrated internal view where I've marked it up to show where each set of caps are and their values. |
